Pilgrim bottle (one of a pair)

William Elliott British

Not on view

These bottles (see mate 2016.710.1) are early nineteenth century copies of a pair of Baroque vessels made in 1690. Though the form is derived from seventeenth-century wine bottles, these examples were only intended to be used as part of a grand display in the dining room. In the early nineteenth century, the appreciation of antique silver was novel, and these are early examples of the antiquarian taste.
